Recommends this college
Taking about the campus, campus is very green and nice but it is very small around 183 acre. But in terms of beauty its good. Plants are well maintained. Talking about academics, classes are nice, new academic building is very well maintained and classes are total smart, nice interiors. Talking about professors, new professors are very helping and kind, they knows what is important in todays word, they encourage for GATE exams and other future opportunities and consider its requirement also into teaching but old teachers are not helpful and they literally dont care about students, they just come and teaches effortlessly and goes back. Talking about hostels, they are good too as compared to other colleges but jot very nice Hostels given to 1st and 2nd year are the best hostels u could get in this clg, very well designed and well facilities, but hostels for 3rd and 4th year are old and is not good at all, also they keep 3 persons in a very small room in 3rd and 4th year. In all 4 years they never provide rooms to single person or double person, always there are 3 or 4 persons in each room throughout the college life. Talking about mess food, to be honest its worst, i don't know why, maybe its bengal or any other reason but food is worst, if you wish to vomit daily you can just by visiting mess and eating 1st bite, its very easy to vomit there. But if you are very courageous then yes you can at least eat 2-3 roti each time, breakfast is the best out of 3 meals provided, and tbh its decent also. I don't know how they manage to change the taste of food in different meals, they are certified magicians who can cook good breakfast but worst lunch and dinner in the world. Talking about overall facilities, its good college and you can come here. For sports not very much opportunities but ya very less and decent opportunity are there. Last and most importantly placement, ya its somehow less as compared to other top 6 NITs, but its really good here Almost every person gets placed of u study decently here. For civil and biotechnology its somehow hard to get placed but still you can if you study bare minimum. Overall a good college but there is huge scope to improve. If college rank in NITs is 8th then plases consider it at 11th or 12th and then come accordingly.

Campus Facilities: Yes there is hostels and free of cost included in fees and are good, 3rd and 4th year hostels are not that good but the 1st and 2nd year hostels are best, hall 14, hall 11 and hall 9 are the best hostels of this college for boys and hall 13 is the only option for btech girls after 1st year, in 1st year its hall 7 and both the hostels are good same as hall 11 of boys. Food quality is worst here in this college, come with 0 expectations and loads of vomits preparation. Breakfast is good but lunch and dinner are the worst in the world I guess. Classrooms are modern and well maintained, all are smart, fully air conditioning and proper sound proof. Labs are good but there should be more equipments too. Library is small but very good place to study, its really a good part of college. There are 2 banks and 3 atms present in the campus, 2 atms of sbi and 1 atm of canara bank, 1 bank is of sbi and one is canara bank. Pretty good overall
Campus Life: Most famous and cultural fest is Recstacy. Famous personalities comes every year. Its a 5 days fest including loads of performances, club events and many more things. Famous guest shows too. There are kore than 15-20 clubs and societies in this college very well active and handled by students and faculty adviser. It give really a huge exposure to the students who gets selected there. Whole years 100s of events goes on continuously organised by the club members (students only who got selected in clubs) which is very good opportunity to everyone to learn good things
Faculty: Young faculty members are good and support and they understand the situation and needs of the students according to current world requirements. They teaches according to the gate exams and supports and encourage students to give such exams, they motivates for future opportunities. But old faculties are not good, they dont care about students and there future life. They just teaches effortlessly without interest and goes back. All faculties have done phd from well knows NITs and IITs.
Placements: For core branches they facilitates vocational training in durgapur steel plant under SAIL PSU so its good for them, this is for those students who didn't get internship offer, apart from this many companies visits for internships and placement, on an avs 95% students gets placed for cse, ece and ee branch, for me, ce, che, metallurgy and biotechnology it varies from 70 to 80%. On an avg of 6 lpa in core branches and on an avg of 12 pa for cse ece and ee. Companies comes and takes test interviews and gives results on the basis of that hence you are selected. Companies are microsoft, amazon, Salesforce, jpmc, reliance, bajaj, tvs, pwc, icici, adani, tata, tcs, tce, tata power, tata steel, jsw steel, jsw group, birla, lnt and many many more, around 180 companies visits the college
